The first stop of the day is at the Giant’s Causeway.
This UNESCO world heritage site is truly a view to behold. With Thousand of interlocking basalt columns spreading across the coastline you will discover how the strange rock formation was formed thousands of years ago due to a volcanic eruption.

Dunluce Castle is just around the corner. Spend 10 min here taking in the views from the Atlantic Ocean and hear the waves crashing against the rocks.

Experience the castle from a spectacular angle. Situated on the sheer cliff edge the ruins are truly majestic and have a lot of history and myths locked up in the walls perfect spot for a memorable photograph!

As we travel through the Glens of Antrim we will visit the Dark Hedges. Made famous (Not that it was needed) by the hit TV series “ Game of Thrones” as the Kings road you will have the opportunity to walk along the avenue of Beech trees. Planted over 200 years ago as a stunning entrance to James Stuart’s new house, named Gracehill House , to impress visitors it still lives on and still impress visitors today.

Reaching Belfast we have one last stop and definitely a highlight of the day. The world renowned Belfast Titanic Exhibition extends over nine galleries, with multiple dimensions to the exhibition. Drawing together special effects, rides, full-scale reconstructions and innovative interactive features you will explore the Titanic story in a fresh and insightful way from her conception in Belfast in the early 1900s, through her construction and launch, to her infamous maiden voyage and catastrophic demise. The journey goes beyond the aftermath of the sinking, to the discovery of the wreck and continues into the present day in the Ocean Exploration Centre.

With the entrance ticket included in the price of the tour this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this attraction.
